Quiet, quiet.........the missus will hear ya !!

Every petrol head should have an Alfa at some time. This was ours. Gone but not forgotten and it was reliable too!

My current ride. Could never love a cage like a bike but if you gotta have one then you may as well have the best and for me, I know its just an opinion, this GS300 is. Most vehicles that start GS seem to turn out good.

WE have had this Suzuki, curiously with 4 wheels, for just over 5 years from new. Mostly the good lady's car but I do like to drive it occasionally. 46000 miles and never missed a beat. Will break the front bumper though if you use it to kill a badger, as she found out.

I'd guess we have 10 to 15,000 cars at work, maybe more. We handle a large % of the cars coming into Australia. Transport, storeage, compliance plating, adding stereo's / side steps / ute roll bars / handbooks / badges pre-dealers, distribution to dealers around Australia. Everything from Kia, VW, Toyota, Hyundai, Haval, Isuzu trucks, Misubishi, up to Porsche and Audi etc etc, including stuff like the GT3-RS and R8's. Not unusual to drive 50+ brand new cars in a day, maybe up to 200 when we are moving or tidying up the yards.

Not my car but my sons.
Citroen AX with a turbo charged B16 Honda engine fitted in the front putting out over 300hp and the same in the rear. Puts a new meaning to shed built

My retirement present - 4x4 180bhp diesel auto ....put on all season tyres ( £150 each !! ) ready for winter when i bought it - had it 3 years and not seen a single snowflake and now on my second set of all season tyres

Agreed! - I had a Sud many moons ago - what fun to drive! Unfortunately I was 'T' bone in an intersection writing the car off - Father got sixty stitched in his face and I ended up with two broken ribs - We were lucky that was all.

A few years ago we purchased our only ever new car.

Mazda 3 Touring spec.

Technology - great, and it all works.
Comfort - very good,
Performance - for a 2.0l - impressive.

It's great.

Oh and the colour in these photos doesn't do the red justice its actually more red / vibrant than shown.










Plates have since been replaced with more sympathetic black ones.

Having a break from doing Kia's at work this week, being trained up to do Audi's. Drove most of the range this week (except the R8)

SQ7's are a bit nice !!
4.0-litre twin-turbocharged diesel V8 producing 320kW (430hp?) and 900Nm (660ftlb)  of torque, the thing has a 48volt power pack to run its active suspension and, more entertaining, a fierce electric compressor that can boost the turbo's in a fraction of a second if you boot it, instant boost! Sounds and go's pretty good for a family wagon.
Shame it's close to $160,000. Nicer wheels are an extra $6000.
I didn't ask about the carbon / ceramic brake upgrade or some of the other extras!


Edit:
Fark!!!

Quote:
"Keen owners wishing to 'track' their seven-seater might also choose to add a ceramic brake package asking for a $19,500 premium.
There's also a huge choice of other cost options ranging from LED Matrix headlights ($2200) to a full-leather interior package ($14,500), and from power assisted door closure ($1550) to a 23-speaker expanded Bang & Olufsen sound system ($11,340)"

Dear Father Xmas......

[Notty]

Autoexpress had an SQ7 on their fleet - it had £24,000 of optional extras !!!

We finally found a Saturday morning posing car last year on carsales, a beautiful 2006 MX5 auto and retractable hard top. We had to go to Melbourne from Tasmania to pick it up, so we did a Great Ocean Road drive while we were on the mainland.

This is one magic car to drive and I have always wanted an open top sports car all my life, I can afford one now, so got it before my  my lights go out

[Andre]

That MX5 is a very fine car. I wish you much enjoyment with it.

[Batkwaka]

I don't have a Car licence so that explains this.
